I simply came too late to shoot the new UAAP Mens' Beach Volley Champion Blue Eagles {at the 2nd Flr Lobby of the MoA Arena} being interviewed by ABS-CBN Correspondents Addie Manzano and Janeena Chan {just yesterday - 15 minutes or so before the Ateneo vs NU Mens' Senior basketball match}.  

The Trio were just about to exit the premises when I barely caught them. I managed to borrow a precious fast minute or two  ... Did My Thing Promptly - lighting angles, quick ! art direction - a few hand gestures - a few "choice, specific words", to DISARM them, let them put their "walls" down .....

..... IF ONLY - for a few priceless moments  ..... then Voila! - I simply got Great Impromptu Images {below} {from a series of 10 frames with the same disarmed demeanor} - then I knew - 'Twas Done - A fresh set of Soulful Images of the young champions - in the bag !

-----

 The three images that follow [below] are from a total of 27 ---[shot in Servo Mode - several frames per second - {in a span of less then a minute, w prompt pauses, of course} ]--- are my Favorites !  from that mini-mini {super-mini} photo shoot.

 Who SEZ my subjects have to be looking at my lens

for their Portraits to be Evocative ??

Anyways .......

A "game-faced" parting shot for this post
And a BIG Parting Thanx to the Champs !

Til the Next "OPP"
